Now we proceed to the problem of equilibrating nonlinear balance equations of the form... 

The population balance equation is employed to describe the temporal and steady-state behavior of the droplet size distribution for physically equilibrated liquid-liquid dispersions undergoing breakage and/or coalescence. These analyses also permit evaluation of the various proposed coalescence and breakage functions described in Sections III,B and C. When the dispersion is spatially homogeneous it becomes convenient to describe particle interaction on a total number basis as opposed to number concentration. To be consistent with the notation employed by previous investigators, the number concentration is replaced as n i,t)d i = NA( i t)dXi, where N is the total number of particles per unit volume of the dispersion, and A(xj t) dXi is the fraction of drops in increment X, to X( + dxi- For spatially homogeneous dispersions such as in a well-mixed vessel, continuous flow of dispersions, no density changes, and isothermal conditions Eq. (102) becomes... 

X un, J Mg) and in the Fe/(Fe + -I- Mg) ratio (the fe-number). This latter parameter is a useful monitor of the temperature of equilibration and increases with falling temperature (Spear 1993). The chemical data are presented as compositional profiles across individual grains and are shown on graphs of composition v. distance. Most garnets examined in this study are rich in the almandine component, and Fe + was estimated using the charge balance equation of Droop (1987). 

In the second situation, the column is initially equilibrated with a tracer having a concentration of C, and once this is done the column is injected with a pulse of tracer having a concentration of C + AC where AC C. Because of this small perturbation in the tracer concentration, the mass balance equations can be linearised around the concentration C. The resulting linearised mass balance... 

Equilibration time is of interest in continuous system startups as welt as in batch distillation. Cieariy, the amount of liquid holdup in the condenser, cohimn, and stillpot is a major factor in the time requirement. For a stage n (see Fig. 5. 1), the basic material balance equation is... 

Equation 7.2 represents the rate law for quinone methide disappearance. This equation was derived using material balance where reactions occur from and equilibrating mixture of neutral and protonated quinone methide. Both the protonated (k2 process) and neutral equivalent (k2 and k4 processes) react to afford the observed major products shown in Scheme 7.18. Alternatively, the quinone methide can be protonated... 

The results of the calculations using Equations (51) through (54) are given in Table III, which includes the pH values of the original equilibrations. In addition, mass balance calculations were carried out to see whether the solid particles had accumulated fluoride in their surface layer from the aqueous solutions. The mass balance showed that an accumulation of fluoride had occurred in the equilibration of all solid solutions. This discounts an interpretation of the solubility data as carried out by Moreno et al. (58). 

The assumption of equilibration in momenmm space may be used to remove the momenta from momentum balance (2.91). Equation (2.93) may be used to evaluate the kinetic force, giving... 

As a byproduct, we obtain confidence intervals for the parameters and corrected values for the measured variables. The equation errors after correction are all negligibly small, showing that the balance equilibration has been done properly. The resulting fit is shown in Fig. 3.4. 

Note that the balances of matter, sites, and charge are obeyed. According to standard kinetics, we formulate the rate equation of this defect equilibration process and denote, for simplicity sake, Ag by i, VAg by V and AgAg by Ag. Let us designate the frequency of a site exchange between a vacancy and an ion on a different sublattice as v. According to a bimolecular rate equation, the time derivative of the concentration is... 

For a Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction in which both reactants are thermally equilibrated on the surface, reaction is initiated by thermal activation of the adsorbate. This thermal sampling can be turned to advantage by invoking detailed balance to equate the rates of adsorption and desorption for a surface at equilibrium [66, 67]. This allows us to relate the final state distributions measured for desorption to the detailed sticking probability for each product quantum state (v, J). This approach has been applied very successfully to hydrogen adsorption/desorption [4, 68] but its use has not been widely explored for reactions of heavier molecules. 

The composition of the liquid phase can be obtained from a material balance on the initial moles of NO2 and NO admitted to the equilibration vessel by means of the equation,...
